Best of you

25. "The best of journeys undertaken are to this Mosque of mine and the Ancient House." [Ahmad, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Nervous Disorders

 


Question:

A person I know is afflicted with a nervous disorder, one docter described as being chronic. His illness has caused him many problems: He shouts at his parents, he is not on speaking terms with his relatives, and he is constantly anxious, nervous, and afraid. Is this person excused because of his illness both for his actions and for compulsory deeds such as the prayer and the fast? What advice would you give to such a person?
Answer:

As long as he is sane, he is not exempted from any Shari'ah ruling. But if he loses his mind or actions, then in that case, he is excused. I advise him to supplicate to Allaah Almighty frequently, seek His forgivness, and to seek refuge in Him from the accursed Shaytaan - thus if he becomes angry, perhaps Allaah will remove his anger from him.
